Hey I wanted to share this review and hope all who reads this enjoys and gets the same experience.
I booked a full day plus charter on 1/19/2023 with captain Xavier, he was very welcoming before my arrival in Florida, he answered all my questions and was in a timely fashion. This was huge for me prior to me even booking the charter.  Communication was great for two weeks prior to charter, day before charter captain reached out and made sure we were still set for our charter. Upon arrival on charter day it was early am and captain was ready to go 30 min early, he picked us up some live bait and off we went to the fishing grounds. Good weather and seas provided a full day of fishing, we tried various methods for different species of fish was impressed with boat, gear, bait, and the sound system yeah! Nice tunes on the water getting that south Florida vibe. As we tried several areas and techniques looking for the big one, caught a nice King Mackerel, some trigger fish, some unicorn looking fish, yellow tail snapper, and of course we had that legendary “monster” on our line. Yes we got videos! Captain put us on some good fish and I got a really good hit, fought this monster for over 20 min with about 7 min on video. Let me say this was a hell of a fish on the line! Took everything I had to hold the ride and fight the fish as we were anchored off shore passing the rod back and fourth under anchor line to keep fish on right side of boat and fighting the weight and pulling of this giant monster. Well let me say we put up a good fight on Reelit Charters but got smoked on the reef, fish broke the line after about 20 min of fighting..
“Do you need the fighting belt?”
Lol lol Oh my this was a fighter! He got away.. that legendary story! Only if we were able to get him up and in the boat.. what was it? We will never know… Captain said patience pays off well we put up a good fight on Reelit Charters and bagged a few fish and caught a total of probably 10 fish, 5 different species. Captain and I fished all day out on the water very relaxed and enjoyable. We shared plenty of stories and Captain was very knowledgeable about the area and fishing techniques we was a great guy and a pleasure to be on the water with all day. We saw an abundance of wildlife as well.. even seen a sail fish as we were talking about one hitting our line beautiful fish come right out the water prob 20 feet from boat. Overall we had an awesome day just captain Xavier and myself, very chill laid back easy going and great time. I would like to thank Captain Xavier for his time and effort and providing me with a fishing experience I will never forget, and an excellent experience that I would hands down do again. I would like to say that Captain Xavier made me feel very comfortable and right at home. After our day was over Captain cleaned fish for me to take home, he recommended a few places to have them cooked well I went out and had the fish cooked and it was amazing. After the charter was over I felt like I gained a new friend and I would highly recommend Reelit charters to anyone who wants a fishing experience of a lifetime.

Thanks Captain Xavier Reelit Charters

Before you make the mistake of booking with another Captain or boat , CHOOSE THIS ONE! Do yourself a favor and choose the full day so you give him the opportunity to give you options. Captain Xavier did everything possible to get us on the fish. He had an agenda and if something wasn’t working he had another plan, tactic or location. Four keepers, some others on the boat and a bunch of great hook up’s that kept you working. Awesome dude, and crew will do everything if you need it or let you work and get involved if you want to. I’ll be 100% be back and you’d be very disappointed in your decision if you didn’t fish with this guy!

Phenomenon time!  Captain Xavier was outstanding and we caught some big beautiful fish!  Amazing day on the water with great company and awesome results!  Definitely will be doing it again….REELIT CHARTERS!!!!

My son and I did two charters with Captain Xavier, an inshore and offshore 4 hour trip. We caught a variety of different fish, including Barracuda, Mutton Snapper, Jacks, Spanish Mackerel while also battling through heavy winds and rain. Nonetheless, we had a great time and Captain Xavier was flexible, working hard to put us on fish. Highly recommend, would fish with him again!

We had the best day! Xavier and Doug were so kind and helpful! They are super knowledgeable about the ocean and all that comes along with it! They will even sing to the fish if you ask them to! :) lots of laughs and fish!!
